Answer 1

The correct option is B People living in an area together

A group of organisms of a species that interbreed and live in the same place at a same time is known as population. They are capable of interbreeding or reproduction. Population is the entire pool from which a statistical sample is drawn. The information obtained from the sample allows statisticians to develop hypotheses about the larger population.
